I'll admit the old Goliaths (especially the a box plastics) were a a bit off but the new ones look more like pit slavesThe old Escher are some of the most beautiful, finely-sculpted models GW ever produced (in my opinion) and these new ones aren't nearly in the same league (to my eye) so I am still hoping for a rulebook only release. Of course, it's all subjective isn't it!
I'm not 100% sold on them, but they're growing on me. I'm waiting until I see them in the flesh before any final judgement. It doesn't help that I've always hated Goliaths, and like you said, the old Escher are beautiful, and some of my favourite late-period GW models.
Also, you'd be better off buying a box and selling the models off, you'll probably end up with the rulebook for free.
